PCB 0 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Have Samsung S4. Do a lot of voice notes / audio recordings. When I play them back volume goes from very loud to so soft I can barely hear it, and then back again. Any ideas what might be causing this? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted October 4, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted October 4, 2013 The Samsungs have a noise-cancelling system that sometimes seems to get in the way when recording ambient sounds. You could try a bluetooth headset for personal notes, and make sure the phone is held solid, insulated from vibrations, and the mic is aimed generally at the sound source when recording remotely.

PCB 0 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Thank you. I went to settings/call/noise reduction and turned it off. Will that help? As to Bluetooth, which I use for all phone calls, I have been unable to figure out how to get the phone to use the Bluetooth when using Evernote - I have tried, but see no way to tell the app to get sound from Bluetooth not the handheld. I use a Plantronics Voyager Pro. Link to comment

I use a Plantronics Voyager Pro. Don't know whether switching off noise cancelling will help - try it and see! As to recording from Bluetooth, it may be that the Evernote app doesn't yet offer that option - you may find that other more specialised recording apps will do so. You can still embed a file from another app in your Evernote notes if it works better for your specific recording needs... Link to comment
